Reading Builds Character

Reading Builds Character is a reading program and nationwide initiative which encourages kids to read at least 15 minutes per day.

Our goal is to encourage more parents to read to their children everyday so that reading becomes a large part of the child’s day to day life. We believe that embedding reading into their daily regimen can develop their vocabulary, decoding skills, and their individual character traits.

There are many benefits to reading. Each time your child reads, they are introduced to new vocabulary words, creativity, and overall knowledge expansion. We’ve discovered that reading builds character and character opens the door to more creativity. It’s never too early to start building a stable foundation of learning for your child.

On November 19, 2015, we launched our first reading campaign. Tons of educators and parents read to various children across the world. With their help, Reading Builds Character was able inspire children to embed reading into their daily routine.
